The Bordeaux Summer School (BSS) accreditation was developed to support international summer schools based on the following criteria:

the highly international scope of the school (lecturers and target audience)

the added value of the courses provided (recognized through a certification)

rooting in Bordeaux' research of excellence

multi-disciplinary dimension

involvement of young researchers from the site

opening-up to professional audiences

sustainable economic model

Existing projects and projects in the design phase wishing to apply for this accreditation are invited to fill in and return the project data sheet as well as the budget estimate using the BSS accreditation guide.

Be careful : the Bordeaux summer school program is rewriting during the 2017 year. Acceptability criterions will change very soon.
